I wish music ministers knew that. They play that awful song as an entrance hymn, and I cringe whenever I hear it performed.
On the topic, another awful entrance hymn [again, sic] which is still performed by some clueless music ministers: “Here We Are, All Together”:
Chorus: Here we are all together
As we sing our song joyfully
Here we are all together
As we pray we’ll always be
Join we now as one
To celebrate
The brotherhood we share,
All as one
Keep the fire burning
Kindle it with care
Let us all join in and sing. (Chorus)
Glorify our God
With all our voices
Show him we are sincere
By all our deeds
Shout the joys of freedom everywhere
Let us all join in and sing. (Chorus)
